*** About Elk: Elk, or wapiti, are large animals in the deer family and are renowned for their large antlers, which can measure over four feet across. Normally found in forested areas where there is plenty of food to graze, these animals are native to North America and eastern Asia. Elk are highly social creatures, often found in large herds which are separated by gender outside of the mating season. Males use their formidable antlers during the fall breeding season to spar with rivals, attracting female groups with displays of strength and prowess. Recognizable by their robust size and the thick, shaggy mane of darker fur around their neck, elk are also known for their role in various ecosystems as prey for large predators and as grazers that influence vegetation patterns.
